Hi all,

We have been in Huahine for over 10 days now and it is absolutely beautiful. We found a perfect anchorage where we had a 150° view of the fringing reef, which keeps the swell out and helps for a very calm anchorage.

We have done a round the island tour in a car (only one day) and had a great walk to several maraes (anchient sacrificial sites) and have some great pictures which Ill upload next time.

We are off to Raiteea today (4 hour sail) and I will be hopefully spending my 25th birthday (on monday)on a sandy beach where we will have a barbeque and cook some locally caught fish. We still have another é weeks in the societies before heading off to the Cook Islands.

Everybody is well and George and John have been doing very well in their sailing and are now taking complete charge of the yacht whenever we sail somewhere (its Georges turn today!).

Love to you all and Im missing you all.

Gypsy Moth IV
Sounds like your having an awesome time and i'm very jelouse. You were lucky to see gypsy moth IV, two days after you saw her the U Kan't Sail Atall (UKSA) crew navigated her into a reef.

The Photos look awesome. Back in old England the whole country has gone world cup mad. Jen and I have just got a flat together and at long last I have finished my degree!!!

Plymouth is the same as usual.

take care mate

Steve
